Chapter 300 Unexpected Changes: The Zhuo Family
The Glazed Ice Heart Tower is a mid-grade third-tier magic treasure. Currently, it can accommodate the effects of two divine abilities, one offensive and one defensive. Theoretically, adding a defensive divine ability would make it even more comprehensive.
However, Wang Yu still planned to refine the Ice Soul Divine Light into it.
This supernatural power has boundless potential and there's no need to be bound by specific combinations. Defense can be replaced by other means, but ultimate offensive supernatural powers are rare and hard to come by.
In this way...
It was only in the fourth year and fourth month of Elder Wang Yu's life that he finally became a fully formed Core Formation cultivator, which was incredibly slow compared to his cultivation level.
After their combat strength surged again by a significant margin.
After the heavy task of alchemy was resolved, the cultivation of Yinming Demon Dragon Technique and Ancient Soul Technique was incorporated into daily practice.
Dragon blood essence, dragon blood elixir, jade mountain fruit, soul-nourishing liquid... a multitude of treasures were supplied.
Significant progress is being made every day.
At the same time, he added more materials to his natal magic weapon and refined top-grade Soul Dream Pills, etc. His life was still fully arranged, and his efficiency in all aspects was significantly improved.
This is one of the most outstanding periods of his cultivation career since he entered the cultivation world.
This process took about a year to settle down.
Zhuo Shouqing's sudden message brought this period of peaceful cultivation to an end.
…………
…………
Evil God's Enforcement Hall.
There was another room reserved for him. It had been sixty years since he last came here. When he entered, he found that only Zhuo Shouqing was there.
He couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Did your brother make a move?"
"That's not it, it's something else."
Zhuo Shouqing shook his head, his eyes looking strange.
"Have you forgotten something?"
"thing?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu suddenly understood.
"You mean the ancient burial pits... Weren't we unprepared for that?"
"Not ready?" Zhuo Shouqing's eyes were dark and his tone was sarcastic. "I thought you were going to condense your Nascent Soul before you went."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just say what you have to say."
"well……"
Zhuo Shouqing sighed, took out an intelligence jade slip and handed it to Wang Yu in a low voice.
"As you know, the date for my action against Zhuo Shouyun is approaching, and the clan is not as peaceful as before. More or less, people have started to contact and curry favor with that guy in private."
This situation was actually somewhat predictable.
After all, others aren't blind. Zhuo Shouqing is middle-aged, while Zhuo Shouyun is the same age as him but is already a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator. He will definitely be able to break through to the late-stage Core Formation stage during the decisive battle.
The difference is obvious.
If a real fight breaks out, the probability of Zhuo Shouqing losing is extremely high.
That's why he needs to hide and disguise himself as a harmless piece of trash, which makes it extremely difficult for him to find helpers.
We can only find someone like Wang Yu, a strong individual who emerges from a patch of weeds.
Besides, there were many people within the Zhuo family keeping an eye on him.
It's difficult to get help from close friends and family, and trust is of paramount importance. Aside from contracts, he probably won't trust anyone.
These are things Wang Yu could easily come up with.
As expected, the information in the jade slip was that the ancient burial pit that Zhuo Shouqing had guarded was used by his subordinates as a stepping stone to be offered to Zhuo Shouyun's people.
The person in question wasn't particularly interested in going on adventures, since he possessed a top-grade blood spirit root, whose aptitude was equivalent to a heavenly spirit root, or it could also be called a heavenly blood spirit root!
As long as Zhuo Shouqing doesn't rise in status, he can enjoy the vast resources that come with being the young master of the Zhuo family.
The Heavenly Blood Spiritual Root ensures that he won't encounter serious bottlenecks all the way to the peak of Core Formation. He only needs to grind through the difficulties in the middle and late stages for a year or two.
Once he reaches the peak of Core Formation, the clan will prepare an opportunity for him to condense into Nascent Soul.
Places like ancient burial pits were not worth the risk for him, so he entrusted them to a member of his clan named Zhuo Wenshi, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of Core Formation.
After watching it.
Wang Yu couldn't help but say, "It's only been four years since I learned of this news. You were targeted by others in the time it takes to take a nap. Your ability to keep secrets is so questionable. How did Zhuo Shouyun manage to refrain from making a move?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Shouqing fell silent again, perhaps out of habit, or perhaps because he had come to terms with it.
“As I said, my conflict with him was promised by my great-grandfather Liezu. My father is on Zhuo Shouyun’s side, and my mother is on my side, but the right to start the final battle is in my hands.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu understood.
The reason why Zhuo Shouyun was so disciplined was because the promise was made by the illustrious ancestor of the Zhuo clan, who was a pillar of the Zhuo clan who was close to becoming a god!
In a world where the strong rule, a single word can decide everything.
If the rules are not followed, it is easy to let other descendants inherit the position of family head. After all, they are all family members, and fairness naturally becomes the first priority.
If we're competing with outsiders, we'll definitely use any means necessary.
After a moment of silence, Wang Yu understood what he meant.
"Leave it to me, those people won't see the sun next year."
Zhuo Shouqing nodded.
"I can't sit idly by and watch Zhuo Shouyun's side produce a Nascent Soul level expert, especially that Fu Xiao. He has a great chance of breaking through, he just lacks a little bit of luck."
"Therefore, the forty-year period is just a theory. Once I discover this trend, I will take action immediately, so you must be ready at any time."
"I see."
Having said all that, there was nothing more to say. Zhuo Shouqing then gave him a jade slip containing information about the ancient burial pit before he returned to his cave at Cold Blood Peak.
Place it on the shelf.
The Ancient Soul Technique was silently replaced by the Demonic Embryo Secret Incantation, which was further strengthened. With the improvement of comprehension, the time required for the deduction and advancement of this profound secret technique was reduced from more than a hundred years to eighty years.
It is evident that its gold content remains top-notch.
It was impossible to deduce the outcome before the final battle, but with each slight improvement, Wang Yu's confidence grew, as a cultivator's hunchbacks rarely proved wrong.
He trusted his intuition.
A moment later, he casually tossed the jade slip into his Sea Heart Ring.
—Ancient burial pits!
This is a mysterious, secluded place of extraordinary opportunity whose exact age is difficult to determine, hence its ancient name. Similarly, it is unknown how it was formed, creating its own little world.
According to Zhuo Shouqing's speculation, it was most likely during the end of ancient times, after the chaos caused by the Blood Demon, when cultivators were worried that the corpses of powerful people would be enslaved by beings like the Blood Demon.
They then used the power of heaven and earth to place a group of tombs in another dimension to ensure that the eternal rest would not be disturbed and the corpses would not be desecrated.
Therefore, the danger is still very high.
After confirming that the place contained a large number of high-level spiritual items and equipment, Zhuo Shouqing prepared to hand them over to him as compensation for the opportunity to enter the Xuan Tian Secret Realm.
Whether it was a burial item or a spiritual object formed from the corpse remains unknown.
However, the intense concentration of various malevolent energies within caught Wang Yu's eye. His Yin-Yang Demon Dragon Technique was primarily honed through the tempering of the Moon's malevolent energy, and this extremely yin-attribute malevolent energy was very suitable for him.
However, the Dragon's Fury is also an indispensable part. All kinds of evil energies can also accelerate his body-refining efficiency. In the past, he had more tempering than nourishment.
The current situation is characterized by excessive nourishment and insufficient physical exertion, resulting in weight gain.
Energy accumulates in the flesh, blood, muscles, and bones, making it difficult to digest. He is experienced in dealing with this kind of problem and believes that constant tempering and injury will solve it.
By replicating the actions taken during the second stage of Body Refinement, one can perfectly digest the techniques.
at the moment.
Some preparations are needed before heading to the ancient burial pits.
A few days later, Wang Yu retrieved the Ghost Cry Flute from an elder at Cold Blood Peak who was skilled in weapon crafting; it had already been upgraded to a mid-grade magic weapon.
The inherent Dark Crow Ghost Realm has expanded several times over.
The enhancement of both soul and sound-based techniques has also been greatly improved.
in addition.
He purchased a large number of second-tier array flags and more than a dozen third-tier array flags from the Array Hall. Both were blank, which was to be used in conjunction with the feng shui secrets in the Earth Mother Scripture.
Upgrading the Ghost Flute cost nearly 100,000 spirit stones.
After all, he provided all the materials himself, and given his status as a candidate elder, he only charged a basic price.
Flags are expensive, even blank ones.
A second-tier array flag costs 15,000 spirit stones, and he bought over a hundred of them. A single third-tier blank array flag costs 150,000 spirit stones, since the price of materials alone is not low.
It seems more cost-effective to make it yourself, but Wang Yu has no plans to delve into the art of array formations for the time being.
The reason is simple: we can't learn it all!
When you have free time, you can use your higher level of knowledge to study the lower level of techniques. With a broad perspective, you can master the first or second level of array formation and artifact techniques.
This round cost another million.
Wang Yu went into seclusion, changed into another set of clothes, secretly left the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, and headed straight for the location of the ancient burial pit.
Its location was near the Northern Boundary Mountains in Yeqiong Prefecture, a place that Wang Yu even found somewhat familiar.
The area of the Dead Leaf Swamp is just a short distance north.
Hidden deep in the mountains.
After leaving the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect's mountain gate, the density of cultivators dropped sharply. Using the Aurora Escape Technique he had learned after entering the sect, Wang Yu's speed soared to its limit.
It can only be described as incredibly fast, covering a kilometer in the blink of an eye, far exceeding the escape speed of a normal Core Formation cultivator. This is a top-tier inheritance!
After flying for more than ten kilometers, Wang Yu stopped again.
Although there are few people in this desolate wilderness, it doesn't mean you won't encounter them. The streaks of light created by the aurora escape technique are so dazzling that they attract attention.
This doesn't align with his habit of always launching a surprise attack first.
therefore.
After standing still for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he realized that no one was following him, which put his mind at ease. The colorful ribbons of the Aurora Escape Technique then disappeared.
Under the influence of magic, it transformed into a pale blue ball of light about half the size of a fist, and vanished into the horizon in a flash. This was because the illusionary power of the escape technique had been suppressed.
With a speed much faster than before, it took only half a month.
With all our might on the road, our destination is now in sight.
The closer it got to Wang Yu, the slower it became, until finally it didn't even stir up a wisp of wind, and its figure disappeared silently from the sky.
In an unnamed valley within the Northern Boundary Mountains.
Zhuo Wenshi, leading a group of subordinates, looked at the array masters working at the front with a hint of impatience in her beautiful eyes, and said somewhat impatiently.
"Is it done yet? It's been days! Haven't you managed to break through the entrance's protective barrier?"
The array master gave an awkward smile, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in a humble tone.
"Lord Zhuo, this involves the restrictions of the spatial secret realm, which is very difficult. If we don't have the key, we can only use a clumsy method to work our way through."
"However... I have experience in this area, so it will be quick."
